Government Assistance

Money Matters

In Canada, student financial assistance is available from the federal and provincial/territorial governments. There are two main forms of assistance available: loans and grants. Student loans must be paid back where grants, in most cases, do not need to be repaid.

You apply for government student assistance in your home province even if you are planning to study in another province. Government student assistance is intended to help you pay for your education. The amount of assistance available will depend on your personal and family situation and can only be determined after you have submitted an application.
